A passenger train derailed in southern Pakistan, killing at least 30 people and injuring more than 80, local broadcaster Geo reported.
Ten cars on The Hazara Express derailed on Sunday near a town in the southern province of Sindh, around 275 kilometres from Pakistan’s largest city, Karachi.
Senior railway officer Mahmoodur Rehman Lakho said injured passengers were transported by rescue teams to the Peoples Hospital in nearby Nawabshah.
Senior railway officer Mohsin Sayal said train traffic was suspended on the main railway line as repair trains were sent to the scene.
Mr Sayal said alternative travel arrangements and medical care would be available for passengers.
Minister for Railways Khaja Saad Rafiq said the crash could be due to a mechanical fault or the result of sabotage and an investigation was underway.
A major train crash in Sindh in 2021 killed 56 people and injured more than 100.
